Caitlin Clark is going to wait until
Indianapolis hosts the WNBA All-Star weekend in July to enter
her first 3-point contest as a pro.
The Fever star declined an invitation to participate in a
special challenge during NBA All-Star weekend next month, her
representatives at Excel Sports said Wednesday.
There had been discussions for Clark to participate in a contest
similar to the one that pitted Stephen Curry against Sabrina
Ionescu in a 3-point shootout during last season’s NBA All-Star
weekend. Curry beat the New York Liberty star. It was one of the
highlights of the weekend.
There have been discussions around expanding that shootout this
year when the NBA All-Star Game takes place in the Bay Area in
two weeks.
Ionescu told The Associated Press earlier this month she planned
to be at the All-Star festivities, but declined to elaborate
whether she would be involved in any on-court activities.
Sports Business Journal was the first to report Clark’s
decision.
Clark has a busy weekend ahead as her Iowa jersey will be
retired on Sunday after the Hawkeyes face No. 4 USC.
